EFR 582: The Powerful Role of Sleep Fitness in Mental Health and Longevity with Alexandra Zatarain

Alexandra Zatarain is a Co-Founder of Eight Sleep, the world’s first sleep fitness company. You’ve likely never heard of the term ‘sleep fitness’ because Alexandra and her husband created it. So, what is sleep fitness? Put simply, sleep fitness is a healthy state of sleep.  It’s important that we talk about sleep not the context of illness, but in the context of vitality because sleep not only impacts the way you show up in the world each day, but it impacts your longevity, too. In fact, science shows that sleep is much more important to your health, longevity, and how you feel on a daily basis than anything else you can do for your health, including diet and exercise. In this discussion, Alexandra and Chase talk about the power of sleep in living a healthier life, why sleep fitness takes a unique mindset approach, and how sleep affects mental health and longevity. Alexandra sheds light on how her sleep has changed throughout her life as well as her top tips for improving your quality of sleep. Plus, she shares her candid thoughts on the potential harmful effects of technology like 5G, EMF, and wifi and what Eight Sleep is doing to mitigate these effects for consumers.   Follow Alexandra on Instagram @alexzatarainj Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning   Episode resources: Get a free year supply of vitamin D plus five travel packs of AG1 at www.AthleticGreens.com/everforward  Get your free samples of Rise and Zen using this exclusive link https://www.curednutrition.com/product/cured-rise-zen-samples?rfsn=2110526.0700e4  Listen to her co-founder and husband Matteo here on episode 408
